I thought I was dying & had no idea that I could have forgotten a tampon inside of me! I had all the same symptoms ( smell, brown discharge, ect) I couldn't believe when I reached in there and found that nasty thing! Ughh! This was late last night & I still have the smell going on, tenderness & a bit of inflammation in my lower abdomen. Is that normal? I NEVER post comments on the internet but this saved my life!

We have all weaknesses to certain things. I have not been able to stay off it for more than a few moths, however I know I could never be an alcoholic.my housemate likes to keep wine and beer in the fridge sbd rarely smokes pot (but every few montshs she will want to) Happy to drink to get drunk sometimes, but I just find the taste and experience of consuming it is unpleasant. (that being said, if they could distribute it in capsule form , I still would not be that keen. So using that argument, I have done coke a few times before, and this is usually once a year. I tried methamphetemines the other night, sure it was fun, but the day afterwards was so unpleasant (no depression, jjust consistent poinding high heart rate (after 12 hours) thinking my heart was gonna fail , dizzzynees, crawled around the house a lot as the head rush made me feel mentally I'll.

]]> Comment on A Professional Patient by JAS http://www.docgurley.com/2008/10/08/professional-patient/#comment-210791 JAS Wed, 21 Dec 2011 02:35:33 +0000 http://www.docgurley.com/?p=765#comment-210791 I do not think there should be professional patients, (just as I do not think there should be live nude art models in art school.) In the medical profession, it simply isn't necessary for new doctors to experiment on actors. Each patient and doctor relationship is unique and circumstantial. There is no guarantee that doctors will learn to be better with patients in the "real world." Doctors should just be heavily warned of the consequences of being insensitive to a patient. I have met so many veteran doctors that were just plain rude and unprofessional that I think the more experience a doctor has, the less professional he or she becomes. It is almost as if experienced doctors have become so beaten or "burned out" by the stress of the profession that they don't care what happens to a patient no matter what kind of sensitivity training they might have had. (In art instruction, I believe that it is more likely that veteran art instructors would become rude to art models because they have had so much experience with what is aesthetic and what isn't that the body becomes just another piece of expendable meat.) From the side of the professional patient (or art model), I wonder what their true intentions are for doing what they do. Many would say that they are trying to contribute to a profession or make extra money on the side, but I think most are just trying to overcome a post traumatic experience with a bad physical experience so badly that they are trying to re-live the incident to correct it in their minds. Each advice/feedback to the new doctor is something the professional patient WISHED he or she had said in that first bad experience.

So helpful. I think this may have happened to me but I'm not sure. Last night I had, had waaay too much to drink and ended up having sex with my bf with my tampon still in. I have no idea if its stuck up there or if it somehow came out during sex. I put in another tampon in the am, since its the first couple days of my period, and when I went to the bathroom a couple hours later to check, my flow was pretty heavy- and i was using a super tampon. Would my flow be that heavy if the tampon was stuck??? Help! So glad I found this website! So helpful. I think this may have happened to me but I’m not sure.

I don't know what to do about it, I can't go to a hospital and demand they xray me. I'm starting to think i'm going crazy after 2 doctors have told me that there is nothing there but I'm pretty sure that it is in there somewhere.
